St. Matthews City Hall will not have a working elevator at least until April.
· Kenan Stratman said contractor for the Trinity Hills Drainage project will mobilize next week.

Materials have been ordered but due to increased Christmas season traffic in the area, it was not the best timing to close a lane of traffic. A time will be scheduled in the coming weeks for the sign completion pending weather conditions.
